I've been on vacation for the last few days and it has been quite enjoyable. I'm sad that it will be ending in the next few days as tomorrow is already the 4th of July. It has been quite adventures. Monday, Jessica came home from a week at her uncle's house and went on a shopping spree. She wiped my out by the time I arrived home I hit the sack for a couple of hours. Tuesday, I woke up to a call from my son. He thought I was kidding out our little camping trip. He says, "you don't even know how to put up a tent. I told him not to worry about it but he still was not convinced. It was a head start but we did make it down to Gaviota State Beach. It was beautiful except for the wind. Yes, I was even able to pitch the tent. Anthony was a great help. He was the man of the hour. I was so proud of him. He helped with everything. It was his 14th birthday and now he has turn into quite a young man. Upon our arrival an Aussie came by to tell us about the wind factor. I thought it would not be any big deal but then the man next to us came by to tell us about how every ones tent collapsed. (yikes) I said, We'll make the best of it so I thought. Once we were all set up we ventured off to the beach. The water was beautiful... Unfortunately for the sandstorm we had to return to the site. Dinner came and we decided to have sandwiches. Which had to be eaten in the car. Way to much wind. In the end we had to pack up and leave. Jasmine has severe allergies and my mom couldnot handle the dusk. I didn't want to take any chances of her getting sick, so we headed to Bulleton and stayed in a Motel 6. It was fun. The next day we headed to Solvange. I got to take my mom to my favorite winery while the kids took an adventure of the city. They are quite familiar with Solvange as we use to go all the time when they were small. I can't believe how big they are now. We had an AWESOME time!!! This picture was taken at the winery. I even got her to sign up for the wine club... She loved it. I'm going to take her back real soon.
